City of La Porte, Texas <br />® We do NOT have limits on the concentration of undesirable infrastructure <br />improvements or policies and procedures that take the residential location of <br />members of protected classes into account, but will develop formal limits or official <br />policies and procedures. <br />When will you do this? ❑2011 ®2012 ❑2013 <br />❑ Not Applicable. (Explain) <br />6. Communities electing to provide publicly financed housing incentives should be <br />requested to call for recipients to engage in affirmative marketing. <br />❑ We have a policy requiring Affirmative Marketing Plans from developers seeking tax <br />abatements or other supports for new housing. <br />❑ We do not have such a policy and will develop and implement one. <br />When will you do this? ❑ 2011 ❑ 2012 <br />® Not Applicable. (Explain) <br />Currently, there are no incentives being offered. We will consider a policy if <br />and when we offer incentives. <br />7. If a jurisdiction is a non - entitlement community, when working in LMI areas to replace <br />roads or other infrastructure, the jurisdiction should consider making application for <br />additional sources of funding to provide assistance to repair substandard housing <br />associated with the project (i.e., TDHCA or HUD.) <br />❑ We formally consider accessing supplementary funds when infrastructure proposals <br />are developed. [Attach policies.] <br />® We have not consistently done this in the past and we will develop a process to <br />formally consider making housing funding applications when funds for infrastructure <br />projects are sought. <br />When will you do this? ❑ 2011 ® 2012 ❑ 2013 <br />❑ Not Applicable. (Explain) <br />8. Most infrastructure projects take into account items like curb cuts, sidewalks, hearing <br />and visually impaired indicators at intersections. When approving non - federally funded <br />projects, similar special needs construction should be required for infrastructure <br />improvements. Projects should also address other legacy discrimination issues, such <br />as accessibility in public areas like courthouses, community centers and other high <br />traffic areas. <br />® We currently require that applications for non - federally- funded infrastructure projects <br />are ADA compliant and address other legacy discrimination issues. <br />Page 5 of 16 <br />
